7 Comic Book Characters Who Seriously Need Their Own Movies

By David Andrew McCabe /

6. Harley Quinn

Quinn's popularity is growing all the time thanks to the Arkham Games, her growing use in the animated shows and even her own spin-off comic. But it's even more down to how fascinating she is as a character, and I think a movie for this young lady isn't as far away from the box office as you'd think. After all how do you pass up the opportunity to make a movie about the Joker's girlfriend? That said, Harley is so much more than just the dim-witted sidekick of Mr. J. Theoretically, you could take the Joker completely out of the flick and still have a lot of ideas knocking around - it might even improve it: who wants to sit through an hour and a half of just Joker and Harley sitting around the house with Harley getting a black eye every so often? As far as casting goes, Alison Brie's a popular choice among my cohorts, while I think Taylor Momsen would also be a compelling candidate. What the story would be I have no idea, but if there's no Quinn in the Batman Reboot a stand-alone Harley movie is an absolute must.
